Beloved actress Park Bo-young has reached out to fans with a heartfelt New Year’s message, expressing her sorrow over the recent Jeju Air tragedy. On December 31, Park shared her thoughts on a fan communication platform, revealing the emotional toll the tragic event has had on her.

A Message of Mourning

"I was a little late in reaching out," she began. "I’ve been busy, but after hearing about the aircraft accident, I felt too sick and heavy-hearted to casually ask how everyone was doing or share my daily life."

Her heartfelt words reflected the collective grief felt across the nation. "Whenever I watch the news, it seems to be filled with heartbreaking stories," Park continued. "The year 2024 has been so sad and difficult that it feels like it will be remembered as an even colder winter. It's a tough end of the year in many ways, but let's spend each day doing what we can, mourning in our own ways."

A Hopeful New Year

Despite the somber tone, Park ended her message with warmth and optimism. "I think I’ve shared too many heavy thoughts," she admitted, before adding, "A new year begins tomorrow. Happy New Year, and let’s get along well in 2025."

Tragic Context

Park’s message comes in the wake of the devastating Jeju Air flight 7C2216 crash on December 29. The flight, en route from Bangkok to Muan International Airport, collided with a wall during landing, resulting in a fiery explosion. Of the 181 people on board, only two crew members survived, marking one of South Korea’s deadliest aviation disasters.

Park Bo-young’s words have resonated with fans, offering both solace and a reminder of the importance of unity during trying times. Her message serves as a poignant reflection of the year’s challenges while extending hope for the year to come.
